Psalm 34 David writes this Psalm from a pretty non-ideal place, and yet, he urges us to give God a try, and that God is close to those who are struggling. Jim shares that even if we feel like we're "in a wilderness", now is the time to turn to Jesus.

Psalm 139 Psalm 139 exploring it's themes of presence, pursuit and purity.

Psalm 27 A reminder that the Lord is sovereign even in the tough times, though sometimes seeing that sovereignty requires a change in perspective on our part

Psalm 126 This 'song of ascent' reflects on God's faithfulness, but doesn't deny the reality of tears shed during times of trouble.

Acts 22:22 - 23:11

Acts 22: 1-22 Paul, arrested and in front of an angry crowd, explains to them that he met Jesus, and that’s what changed his life. The resurrection means that we, too, can meet with a living Jesus, and be changed by Him, even today!

Rachel gives a reflection on the Good Friday story and how we can take some comfort from it during this challenging season.

Acts 21:15-40 When Paul was arrested, his approach to bringing in the Kingdom of God had to change. No longer could he walk into a town and tell people about Jesus… so what did “Ministry from Lockdown” look like?

Matthew 5:14-16 In a time of uncertainty, Jim encourages us to return to Jesus and get close to him. We were made to be lights in the darkness and to fulfil this, we need to continually come back to the source of light and life Himself.

Acts 21:1-14 Agabus has been used both to defend and reject the use of the prophetic in the church today. We'll talk about why that's wrong--on both counts.

Acts 20:13-38 Paul’s final leaders’ meeting the Ephesian elders is one of love, care and challenge. Caitlin looks at the model that Paul set and how important it is to look after our relationship with Jesus.

Acts 19:11-22 In this story of exposition and opposition, including the demonic, we see six distinct choices we all have to make, at some time or another.

Acts 18:18-19-10 In this next section of Acts, Luke tells three stories about disciples getting trained up in the Church. What can we learn from their experiences and how can we become better disciples of Jesus?

Acts 18:1-17 Paul repeats his pattern of preaching in the synagogue, getting rejected and moving on to preach to the gentiles. This time he just pops next door and sticks around for a bit longer than usual.
